OUR readers should bear in mind
that according to a recent ruling OF
the powers that be advertisements OF
the senders' business are not allowed
on mail matter; the sender can have
printed or written on wrapper the
name and address OF the individual or
firm but no designation of the busi-
ness OF the party sending the mail
matter. This is a strict and illiberal
construction of law passed nearly
nine years ago, and now looked up
and enforced by some smart Aleck in
the postofice department.

Making ROgues Talk.

A writer in the current Harper's
Magazine give some instances OF the
remarkable power to makes rogues
talk possessed by Inspector Byrnes
OF the New York police department:
Interviews with the inspector are
had by special request. His private
office is adorned by photographs and
crayon drawings whose subjects are
associated with police affairs. Some
of the men reporting to him are said
to be college bred, and can pass mus
ter in the best society. All are chosen
in view OF individual aptitude for GER
tain kinds OF work. The stamp OF Off
cialism is about the last ofwhich there
is any trace. Keeping incognito as
much as possible, the chances OF
prompt detection are multiplied.
"Crooks" are now afraid OF their
shadows; great robberies have ceased
and minor crime been reduced over
eighty per cent. Detectives more or
less closely initiate the example OF their
chef, who says: every evening make
it a point to meet some OF these men
in their resorts and learn from them
the whereabouts OF their friends and
what they are doing. One crook oil
consequence generally knows what
other good men are doing. In this
way keep posted, and know in what
part OF the country all the sharp men
are. As experts are liberated from
the state prison, follow their tracks
in this way" For the secret police oil
European countries, and for the pri-
vate detectives in this, Inspector
Byrnes entertans undisguised con-
tempt. Crime, in his opinion, is q fine
art, and criminal detection a science.
"Set q thief to catch n thief," is a
hoary mendacity. "In the long run
the honest officer is O. match for the
smartest thief" Detective opinion OF
the morality OF American life, private
or official, is not OF roseate hue. The
bribe-taking aldermen OF 1884 have
not improved it's complexion. Vi
Henry w. Jaehne, their former vice
president, but now in Sing Sing
through the inspectors remarkable
power OF making rogues talk, he is
represented in saying: "Jaehne
thought | had more proof against him
in regard to Mrs. Hamilton's stolen
silver than | really did have, and !
was careful not to undeceive him. As
IL was, 7 knew that he was rascal
without having proof OF the fact, until
had gained his confidence to such an
extent that he admitted his guilt as
to the bribery"

Another Dallas Enterprise.

New enterprises are springing up
daily. One of the latest and most I'M
poriant is the Texas Installment Co.,
6l9 Elm street, which will be opened
on or about the 9Th of April, with a
full line of household specialties on
small payments made weekly. This
company has several car loads OF fur
niture, stoves, carpets, silverware and
many other articles too numerous to
mention in transit, the goods are new
designs fresh from eastern factories.
This company is composed of shrewd
business men who know the wants OF
Dallas people, and who will be suppli-
ed at lowest rates on the installment
plan. Call and see them at GIG Elm
street

The Buffalo Courier has discovered
the man who knows all about evolu-
ton:
"Did you know" said tie anarchist
operator recently, chat l was an evo.
lutionist? NOT Well, am, and have
been for ten years. Evolution don't
interfere with your religion, but It
knocks theology sky high. Henry Ward
Beecher was an evolutionisS so am /.
Hank and l are mugs, too. | am
now in correspondence with Mrs.
Francis Willard, an | expect to prose-
lyte her. The idea is that men are big
ger an wiser than they were 200years
ago. A few years ago the British gov.
eminent took hundred soldiers, an
hundred policemen, an a hundred
shoemakers. an sized 'em all up.
When they found the mean man they
tried to put him IN one OF the old ar
mors hanging in the tower, an they
couldn't get HMM; that shows, doesn't
it? I'll bet a hundred dollars fiat
with any man that the world is wiser
than it was 200 years ago, an that
settles that part of it. The man, an
the monkey an the ape all came from
one stock. The man got tired OF hair
on his body and put on a coat. There
was then no use for the hair an 1t
disappeared, an that settles that.
Even a niger baby is white when it's
born-but what's the use OF talking.
everybody will embrace evolutionism
when they investigate. It's a great
subject"

Strangers In the City.

If any one doubts the fact that there
are large number of strangers in the
city attending the spring races, let him
examine the hotel registers. The no.
tells are crowded to their utmost ca
pacity, while the smaller places of "en-
tertainment for man" are also well fill
ed. The fair grounds are very large,
the grand stand will contain sew
eral thousand people and the crowd in
attendance can scarcely be correctly
estimated.

cherries in place OF worms. Laugh
ter.) Farmers don't paint
their wagons when they can
help it, for they show mud too quick.
The color OF their boots is red, and

because they are twice as big. APP.
plause.) Farmers wives have hard

hired men find fault with the farmers

wives let the hired men do the cooking
while they do the finding fault Great
applause Farmers don't get as rich
as bank presidents, but they get more
exercise. prolonged laughter.) Some
ask, "Why don't farmers run for Con-
gress?" They run so much keeping
boys out of their peach orchards and
melon patches they don't have any
time TO run after anything else. Ii
Congress should run after farmers,
one might be caught now and then.
Lawyers can beat farmers at running
for most anything. | know a farmer
who tried to run line fence according
to his notion. The other man object
ed and hurt the farmer. The farmer
hired u lawyer to run his line fence,
and now the lawyer runs the farmers
farm and the farmer has stopped run
ming anything. Speaking OF running
reminds me OF my calf that ran away
to the woods. There were not enough
men in the county to catch that calf.
We turned the old COW loose into the
woods and she caught the calf, prov
ing the old saying that it takes COW
to catch thief. Laughter.)

= .5ocfc1afy Parry addressed a letterto
City Attorney johnson enquiring OF
that official his opinion as to what he,
a.Acity secretary, should do about the
election poll lists if demanded by Mr.
Ed C. Smith in case of contest for
mayor.
The city attorney replied that as the
city charter made no provision Tor
such an emergency he should be
guided by the State law in State cleo
tions, which was that the contestant
and his counsel should have access to
the poll lists to examine the same, Ill
the presence of the secretary, and that
said officer should notify the other
parties interested and set a day for ex-
animation.
In accordance with these instruc-
tions the secretary has notified all par
tics concerned that on the 18th day of
April the poll lists will be on exhibit
ton for their inspection.
So it can be said that the contest
has fairly begun. Mr.. E1 &. Smith
shows no signs of weakening, while
Mr.. Conner says it is game that both
parties can play. and the prospect is
that there will be lively times. and If
one can believe what is said on the
streets, illegal votes will be disclosed
by the hundred.
